This may be one of those strange situations.
I have one RBR50 and one RBR750 and both routers clearly provide Access Control in the Security menu of the Advanced Tab of the Orbi web interface.
Smart Parental Controls (SPC) and Bitdefender Armor have never been enabled on either of these routers.
The RBRE970 is a totally new product. Page 54 of the User Manual goes into detail about how to use Access Control:

I did not read every word in the user manual, but nowhere did I find a disclaimer, "just joking. this doesn't work. you have to use the Orbi 'app'. ")
Was sort of expecting to hear whether SPC and/or Armor are enabled on this new system?
